EcoFlow Delta Pro vs Tesla Powerwall: Price and Performance

by Hunter Kissam July 14, 2022 3 min read

EcoFlow

It’s no secret that we need to change how we use energy at home. Luckily, in a dramatic shift from recent years, 67% of US households are now interested in home solar panels or solar offsets for home use.

Fortunately, solar batteries make it more possible than ever to rely entirely on clean energy for home use. Let’s compare two popular options for home backup or off-grid life; the EcoFlow Delta Pro and the Tesla Powerwall!

Cost Comparison

As expected, the Tesla Powerwall is more expensive, costing $10,500 for one unit and $17,000 for two. This cost does not include solar panels, which you will need plenty of for fast charging.

On the other hand, the EcoFlow Delta Pro costs about one-third of the price. So, how do they compare?

EcoFlow Delta Pro Performance

Of course, the EcoFlow Delta Pro is aportablepower station, not a home solar generator. However, this system is still well-suited for home backup, even though it wasn’t its original niche. If you purchase the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel, your home energy system can switch over to your Delta Pro in under 20 milliseconds, allowing for uninterrupted power. Here’s what you can expect from your system!

EcoFlow Delta Pro

Charging a Delta Pro

The Delta Pro is the fastest-charging solar battery on the market, allowing up to 1600W of continuous power from any combination of charging methods. This includes solar charging, AC, car, or EV charging. You can charge a Delta Pro in under 2 hours with the right combination.

EcoFlow Delta Pro Output

You can use up to 3,600W of continuous power and up to 7,200W surge at a time. This means you can easily run a hairdryer for a few minutes while powering your refrigerator, some lights, a television, and your WiFi router. Essentially, if you need to back up the most essential appliances in your home, the Delta Pro can do it.

As you can guess, it doesn’t last forever. Running a large refrigerator or freezer on one battery will last for 24 hours or more on one charge. Fortunately, you can compound these batteries, using up to 3 at a time, and any solar offsets can significantly extend the life of your battery.

Battery Lifecycles

The EcoFlow Delta Pro is the only portable solar generator lasting over 6,500 lifecycles. That means you can drain the battery every day for ten years before seeing a drop of 20% from its original capacity. Read our EcoFlow Delta Pro review for more information!

Tesla Powerwall Performance

As you can imagine, the Tesla Powerwall can power more in your home. However, the trade-off is the lack of portability. Once the Powerwall is installed and plugged in, you’ll likely need some professional help if you need to move it.

Charging a Powerwall

Inperfectweather conditions with 7,600W of continuous power, you could charge your Powerwall in around 2 hours. However, this doesn’t always happen in practice. Either way, that is substantially fast for how much power it can put out.

Powerwall Output

The Tesla Powerwall can handle 5,000W of continuous output and 7,000W surge, notably lower than the Delta Pro! However, the capacity of the Powerwall is challenging to match at 13.5kWh. One charge alone could power a large refrigerator for nearly a week, even without solar access!

Powerwall Lifecycles

The Tesla Powerwall is one of the longest-lasting batteries in existence. Like the Delta Pro, its design changed the game for the industry, as it’s designed to last for 20 years or more with daily use, and up to 25 with proper care!
